...continue with Jay Ward British Columbia Field Reporter out at Revelstoke CMH. Day 2 takes us back up to the beautiful mountains and fresh snow. Come check out the helicopter with pilot Mike and also meet some of the guests, old school and new!
Unfortunately we are now considering shooting wolves to support status quo heli-skiing. Yup, sounds bizarre, but scientists consider that both the harrassment of mountain caribou by helicopters and the cutting of forests to provide heli-ski runs are both increasing the mortality of caribou due to predation. Not necessarily by wolves but they get the proverbial 'silver bullet'.
